S01E01: Sophist
Game-loving high school student Akira Shiroyanagi survives an encounter with a monster, only to be fatally wounded by a girl named Mion. Soon after, he wakes to find himself part of an "ability focus group," a large group of people granted powerful abilities and forced to fight - and possibly kill - one another!
Overview
It was just a usual morning.
Akira Shiroyanagi, a high schooler who loves games and Konpeito (Japanese sweets), has suddenly been dragged into a battlefield by a mysterious girl who calls herself Mion. The participants are told that they are "erased from the family register, involved in an experiment, and gained certain powers."
Akira is determined to win the game with his newfound powers and destroy the organization. Armed with a power no one expects and his "brain" skills, the new period of intelligence battle begins!
